The eyes and skin could be from a genetic mutation. Everyone on earth today with blue eyes have a single common ancestor that lived 10,000 years ago. There was also a fisherman from Iceland in recent times that survived at sea in freezing water for hours and turned out he had a genetic mutation which helped him retain body heat almost like a seal.

"27,000 BBY...back *BEFORE* the *INVENTION* of the Hyperdrive and FTL travel." Seriously, Alan? I'm gonna need my glasses for this one. **puts on obnoxiously nerdy glasses** Any youngling who knows 5th grade Galactic History can tell you that the existence of the Hyperdrive goes back well beyond 27,000 years BBY and that the modern Hyperdrive was reverse-engineered from the Rakatan Hyperdrive in the Corellia System. The Rakata had FTL technology at least 10,000 years before the founding of the Old Republic. And we know that they inherited that when they overthrew the Kwa and stole the secrets to their FTL Infinity Gates, and the Kwa who in turn took that technology from the Celestials who were traversing the Galaxy with FTL Drives well over 100,000 years BBY. And who's to say that the Celestials weren't inspired to develop hyperdrive technology from the Purrgils who have had the natural ability to fly through hyperspace for the Force knows how long.

I was thinking of the Wookies - they may actually get along! Wookies have a code of honour that emphasizes cooperation and despises corruption. And living on a ice world wouldn't be that hard for them (Chewie was naked on Hoth - outside). The Wookie pathfinders would be _very valuable_ in that region of space and may well have explored there. And with their long lifespans they are capable of a lot of learning. There are worse places for a Wookie diaspora to end up in, it would've made sense to go there and pledge loyalty to the Chiss (and the use of their pathfinders) when things got rough for them in their own neighborhood, although they really should have snuck off with the Lasat. I just want to see militaristic Wookies living up to their full potential under the pragmatic culture of the Chiss. No freaking wood fixtures, and they use their claws in cost l close combat. They are a technically skilled race, use technology without the get back to nature vibe.

I always wrote the Chiss off bc of Thrawn’s cold and calculated nature. I mean I guess they are like that, but they have a lot more dimension to them than I thought. I play in Star Wars DnD 5e campaign, and my dm is thinking of doing an unknown regions campaign after our current one. This still (10:50) during this part of the video gave me the best character idea: a 7-12 yr old Chiss kid joins the rag-tag unknown regions exploration ship (it’s a remodeled Nebulon-B with tons of different people from across the galaxy). I’d play a non-Force class but with the Force-sensitive feat (Magic Initiate in regular DnD terms). Secretly, it’s a Chiss Navigator in training, who ran away from the Ascendancy. But they’re so rare, they want her back, and will stop at nothing to collect her!!

I figure the reason Thrawn liked the empire is because he saw it as a step toward the hyper disciplined duty based society of the Chiss, but didn't realize that such a system couldn't possibly work for a larger more diverse faction.

[@ale-xsantos1078]

As Legends fan, I'd say the Fel Empire, particularly the Imperial Order. The emperor himself was more of a constitutional monarch while the government was the same type of the galactic republic, but now with the moffs in charge of the administration of local systems, this due to the fact that the empire was created through the unification of the New Republic with the remains of the Galactic Empire with one of the generals being crowned emperor as part of the peace treaty. The order itself used the light side, but they didnt focus their efforts on meditation and were not seeking to become one with the force, they sought and praised efficiency and efficacy alone, much to the dislike of the remaining jedi of the galaxy, and that put the strenght of the members between that of a jedi master and your average sith lord. They also prevented the emperor from ever becoming a corrupt leader, having orders to kill him if he ever fell to the dark side and to execute themselves if they felt they were going to fall as well. In short, they prevented corruption, they could sense if someone was acting immoral or embracing their inner darkness and they could kill them for it, it was impossible to be a corrupt politician much less an corrupt or tyrannical emperor with them around and if you tried to bribe or blackmail them, they would either kill you, kill themselves(if they felt tempted) or both. Of course you wouldn't be able to become a force ghost by following them, but hey that was never a problem for the other factions.

[@olinseats4003]

Which is funny, considering that the Fel Empire was founded by Jagged Fel, who had strong ties to the Chiss via the Empire of the Hand and later, the Ascendancy itself.

27 thousand years is plenty of time to change pigmentation from environmental factors considering the european race had black/tanned complexion merely 9 thousand years ago and they had changed to a fairer complexity only 4 thousand years ago. Assuming it took Chiss the whole period to become blue and you take a generation to be 20 years it would take 1350 generations to go from non-blue to blue and each generation would have to be 1/1350 or 0.07% bluer than the previous. So it is at least feasible.

The Chiss Ships look so cool.

Lol reminds me of the navigators of Warhammer (forgot how they’re called atm)

There was a family in America that had blue skin because of in breeding and other factors but that wasn't even 100 years for that trait to manifest so it's possible for the chiss to be descendents of humans

Yay the chiss are my favorite Star Wars speeches

If Legends was present, I reckon my vote would go to The Infinite Empire, due to their sheer domination (before their fall). The Eternal Empire was also very powerful, and good to its own people.

your videos haven’t been recommended to me in a long time for some reason. i hope this isn’t a widespread issue for other users

I am with you in that force sensitive beings can see and anticipate blaster bolts but wouldn't you need fast reaction time and reflexes and proper lightsaber technic to execute that deflect?

[@MayfWasHere]

I know I'm years late here...but gotta give a correction...Jagged Fel was not half-Chiss...He was just raised among Thrawn's Chiss/Imperial splinter group, the Empire of the Hand.

It's probably good that this faction hasn't been integrated into the Disney Star Wars era. If so, they'd be downplayed and paraded around as only villains.

They are canon.

Space Confucian aliens with strong tradition of social service? Say hello to Turian Empire.
